What symptoms do you have?

[bc1995]

I am just wondering what symptoms everyone is having. I know it is still so early and some may not be noticing anything yet.

For me the insomnia has kicked in (this me sitting her typing this just before midnight :eyesroll ), my breasts feel heavier than normal, I am having a bit of an adversion to chocolate, frequent urination, and my nose is already working like a dogs. I will be 5 weeks this weekend. I was extra tired for a few days, but that has changed to insomnia for the last two days. This pregnancy was a big surprise for us. After getting my bfp, I was surprised looking back over the last week how many symptoms had been there.

[baturay]

So far, I have none. I'm 4 weeks as of yesterday. I forgot when they started for me the last two pregnancies.

[Hollin]

I think I'll be 7 weeks soon. I'm sick, picky about food, beyond exhausted, and have super duper smelling powers. I've also lost my waistline. No boob changes yet thankfully.

[hillaryjudd]

Sore boobs, exhausted (or just missing caffeine, not sure which some days!), super strong nose, and slight queasiness.

I didn't have many first trimester symptoms with my pregnancy with my twins so I don't anticipate having many this time either (although I could be wrong, I'm sure!) But I must say after recently having an early miscarriage that the symptoms I'm having now are reassuing :)

[lila2801]

I'm definitely more tired and I've notice I my sense of smell has gotten stronger.

[ilovebabies]

Insomnia, fatigue, and stronger sense of smell.
That's it so far, but I'm just 4 weeks so I expect things to start kicking in within the next couple of weeks or so.

[pigirl]

I'm 5 weeks tomorrow, and my boobs have been super sore since even before 4 weeks. Like, sleep in a jog bra sore. Also, if I get hungry, or stand up quickly, I get a little lightheaded. This is my first pregnancy.

[liberal_chick]

5.5 weeks here and I've got fatigue, insomnia, and frequent urination. I got on a swing at the playground with my ds yesterday and got really nauesous (sp?). That never used to happen before, so I'm calling that pregnancy related.

[Tobeborn]

I'm about 5 and a half weeks. For the past 2 weeks I've been tired all the time, before I thought it was just my crazy schedule, but I know what it is now...I feel stuff going on inside me for sure, slight cramping and just, I can feel things going on, I don't know how to describe it. I have been craving greens and fruit a lot, which I am loving. I am really hoping to avoid the traps with eating I got into last time. I can also see the veins on the chest very well, they are really bright blue, I remember that from last time too. I'm grateful for every day I am feeling good, and hoping it lasts as long as possible!

[blessedonce]

No frequent piddling here, worried me until I realized that's normal for me anyways. My breasts are still uber tender and the other day the veins popped up. Today I was heaving in the grocery store and a little after I woke up in the morning. Starting to eat healthier as well. Cooking and shopping from the pregnancy cookbook I have :) Wheat germ is my friend :)

I'll be 6 weeks on Monday. So far, I don't think I actually have *any* real symptoms (unless anxiety counts). I have a few little bumps on my nipples, but I can't remember if they were there before or not. Everything else I can think of also has some other explanation (peeing a lot because I'm drinking more water, tired because I can't sleep because I'm nervous, changes in appetite may be because I'm nervous), except for the whole no-period and positive HPT stuff.

[cyrusmama]

I am tired, and feel like I really need a mid-day nap. My boobs are heavier/ fuller, am craving certain foods and always want something really really cold (popsicle, or water, or milk, or just something), and then the craving meat. :lol

[blessedonce]

I just had supper...had about 5 or 6 chicken tender thingies I made (homemade and REALLY healthy), I ate around 5:30....my stomach is already growling again *rolls eyes* LOL!!! I bought some fresh broccoli today and cut it up so I can snack on that, also bought some cucumbers and sliced them and put them in a bowl of vinegar and organic zesty italian dressing to soak...yummers!!!!! I REALLY want some pickled eggs atm though. *cries*

Insomnia - took me by surprise. I am NOT a morning person, and usually LOVE to sleep in - but we were on vacation all last week, and I was up by 6 am every day!

Breasts - I can't tell if they're bigger yet, I think they are, but my areolae are definitely bigger which was weird for me! Nipples got tender right away too.

Nose is working in overdrive.

Food aversions like crazy - I'll get halfway through something and suddenly it does NOT look good anymore!

Urinating WAY more than normal.

Several pretty awful headaches.

[hedgewitch]

I'm soooooooooo tired. Started on Friday and got progressively stronger over the weekend. I feel like I could crash now! I'm also getting hungry a lot and nausea if I don't eat. Those are the main things and I am starting to remember similar symptoms with my ds but can't remember when they started.

Some nausea first thing too and when I need to wee that is it - go now! My tummy seems a bit tender too but that might all be in my head.

I'm 5 and a bit weeks (which is 3 really). I'm looking at a book on prenatal yoga, the first trimester it is all meditation which sounds good! Last week I was like "Bring on the exercise" now I'm "Bring me my pillow!".

I am having major nesting instincts though wanting to sort and clean and I am fancying protein foods a lot more. Plus smells are pretty overwhelming.

Actually that's a lot of symptoms, lol.

[Devaskyla]

6 weeks. Major exhaustion + insomnia. Horrible!! Never had the insomnia before. I think I had it before I was pregnant, though. Peeing a lot. A bit of nausea. Stuffy nose. Sore breasts & I think they're bigger, or at least perkier. Slightly tighter clothes.

Think that's it so far.

[DeannaK]

Wow I feel so much more normal after reading all the insomnia reports. I've got it bad! And I'm exhausted all the time. I also have a terrible rash which I think is due to my Progesterone levels (I'm on injectable Progesterone) I'm 4w2d today! :D

[ClumsySugarPlum]

Here are mine:
fatigue, all of my shorts feel to small in the crotch (lovely, I know), hungrier more frequently, boobs really felt big two days ago - but now they feel more normal, except heavier and nipples have been saluting for weeks, headaches that come and go, and sleepiness! I so would like to exercise. Do you think it's possible to trim around the middle still? I'd really like my bump to be from baby and not from just flab.

[blessedonce]

Anyone's breasts feel MORE sore at nighttime? My sure do.

~Liz

[texanatheart]

I've been really tired the past few days.

Nursing my 19 month old ds has been progressively hurting more and more starting 2 weeks ago, and he's wanting to nurse lately all.the.time. OUCH!

And I've been occassionally short of breath. Someone suggested this may indicate anemia. Anyone heard of this? Should I be worried/get my iron levels checked? I didn't have anemia my last pregnancy, but can't recall whether I was short of breath. tia.

[opera mom]

I am 4 weeks now and I have been SOOO tired - my husband and I went on a date last night without our 21 month old daughter and we were literally sitting at Borders nodding off together. Also, my nipples have become more sensitive and I am still nursing...it is difficult because lately I just do not want to do it so we may begin the weaning process to spare my poor nipples. I don't know how long it will take but nursing for hours at a time at night is not my cup of tea these days. I also have started to be more picky about food. I remember that from last time...I basically went vegetarian for the 1st trimester.

[vanessab23]

insomnia (seems to have passed now though, thank god!)
super duper hungry, shakey like low-blood sugar
some dizziness
short of breath, especially when lying on my back
fast pulse
cramps (only up till about when AF was due)
occassional sharp pains in breasts
rock star nipples & very sore (DS keeps offering to kiss them:love)

and this weekend (6 weeks) I feel like the pregnancy REALLY hit me. last time if went to bed with food on my nightstand to eat during the night/before I sat up in the morning, I was okay. that was the extent of my nausea. it doesn't seem to be working with this baby. added to that, DS wakes up jubilant that I was nice enough to bring all this food to the bed for him and then he doesn't want to share :irked:

so, the last few days I have been beyond nauseated for the first half of day. and today I've taken TWO naps, up from maybe one or none in the last couple weeks.

[mrstmb]

Cramping!!! I also seem to wake up hungry and have to pee a lot.

[puffnstuff]

Six weeks *on the dot* - and I've woken up to nausea. On the one hand, I'm sure this will get old fast. On the other hand, I finally feel pregnant!

[SarahDC]

Puffnstuff that's funny, I remember your thread from last week, wanting to feel pregnant! I'll be 6 weeks on Thursday... hoping it doesn't hit me too :) Feeling good so far!

[peacelovingmama]

Not much in the way of symptoms yet here but I just got my bfp yesterday. I do feel hormonal/moody though. And I'm burping a lot.

[Aly22681]

Why Can I Not Stop Burping!!!!??? Uuuugggghhhhh!!!!!!!

[blessedonce]

Why Can I Not Stop Burping!!!!??? Uuuugggghhhhh!!!!!!!

ROFL!!! Be glad you're just burping!!! I keep farting!!!! And I don't even know they are popping out and all of a sudden "VROOOOOONK!" and I get looks from all directions. Even my 2 year old makes a wide berth!!!

~Liz

[Aly22681]

:lollaughup :rotflmao :laugh: :lol

See I'm expecting the farting to follow in a few days...Its times like these when I am GLAD my Dh is gone until Aug 8th. He will get to breath easier for a few more weeks. :wink

[galincognito]

no symptoms but i'm 6w1d. last time, i seem to remember feeling nauseous around week 8 - 10. i've been super tired but i also just went back to work full-time two weeks ago so i'm not sure if it's due to being pregnant or going back to work or both!

[juliema]

Not much in the way of symptoms yet. :) I've had a bit of breast tenderness here and there and I did have some dizziness when working in the yard this past weekend, but I don't know if it's related. With my last pregnancy, the nausea didn't kick in until around week 9 so I'm hoping for a couple more good weeks. :)

[Lizzie9984]

I'm roughly 5 weeks.
Unless it's from many days' worth of chili finally doing a number on me, I think the morning sickness is starting, I've been a little queezy today (but not very bad) Strange, because i never really had it with DD, maybe for all of 2 days and that was it. This babe'll be the stinker that has me incapacitated, won't it?

I gotta pee all the time!

I'm hungry all the time!

And tired all the time!

And my temper is getting shorter, hehe.
